Trinity Alps Golf Course

About Trinity Alps Golf Course:

The site of Trinity Alps Golf Course was originally known as the "China Graveyard Ridge," after gold miners from China who congregated in the basin in great numbers during the Gold Rush. In 1871 alex Love built a quarter-mile track for horse racing. Some popular horses of the day were "Hayfork Kitty" and "Hollywood," owned by John Van Matre, of pioneer family reknown. After the miners left the area, and the town settled down a bit, the land was acquired by Trinity County.
